[media-credit name=”Zanzibar” align=”alignright” width=”270″][/media-credit] This Ballpark-area watering hole is about to get a makeover.

Spike TV will remake Denver’s needy Zanzibar Billiards Club for Season 2 of its bar renovation show, “Bar Rescue.” Filmming begins Saturday at the ballpark area bar and is open to the public.

“Bar Rescue” host Jon Taffer will be at Zanzibar (2046 Larimer Street) Saturday through Tuesday, launching a venue makeover. The bar’s time in the spotlight starts with the “Stress Test,” during which patrons tell Spike TV’s cameras what they think of the bar’s food, service and decor.

After two days of staff training and remodeling by Taffer and team, Zanzibar will relaunch on Tuesday, with a filmed event open to the public.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
